Five Fingers of Evolution (by TEDEducation)

Having trouble remembering the 5 processes that impact evolution (small population, non-random mating, mutations, gene flow, adaptation)?  Learn the five-finger trick, and you’ll always have them at your fingertips (see what I did there?)!

This is really cool, you guys would appreciate it!!

As consumers, we don’t often think about what it takes to make the products we buy.

Specifically, how much water it takes to make simple things.

1lb of cheese ~ 600 gallons of water
500 sheets of paper ~ 1,321 gallons of water
1 gallon of coffee ~ 880 gallons of water

Crazy right? Click here to see how much water we use to make everyday things!

I wrote an article about Napoleon Bonaparte for my history class and saved it as “Napoleon Bonaparte Article”.

But on my computer it only showed “Napoleon Bonapart…Article”

Which I read as “Napoleon Bonaparticle”.

And now whenever someone mentions Napoleon I picture a little particle with one of those signature Napoleon hats on, sitting on a big throne in France governing a bunch of little tiny French particles. And it’s kind of funny.

You just have to picture it…

The energy in the sunlight we see today started out in the core of the Sun 30,000 years ago – it spent most of this time passing through the dense atoms that make the sun and just 8 minutes to reach us once it had left the Sun! The temperature at the core of the sun is 13,600,000 kelvins. All of the energy produced by fusion in the core must travel through many successive layers to the solar photosphere before it escapes into space as sunlight or kinetic energy of particles.

The density of Saturn is so low that if you were to put it in a giant glass of water it would float.
The actual density of Saturn is 0.687 g/cm³while the density of water is 0.998 g/cm³. At the equator Saturn has a radius of 60,268 ± 4 km – which means you would need an extremely large glass of water to test this out.

Guys, remember the edible cell?  Truly the most delicious of all elementary school science projects.  Looking at these is making me so nostalgic, I want to plan an edible cell party where everyone has to bring one.

(Full disclosure: one of these is a professional job.  Don’t feel bad if yours looked more like this.)
